Our park and street trees are absolutely vital in hot weather , they provide shade , moisture to the atmosphere, and with it , free air conditioning. #streettrees #urbanwoodland

Reflecting , after a busy teaching week, on seeing the magnificent Kyoto play from RSC and @goodchancetheatre.bsky.social last week. If you get a chance go see it , it is the most honest piece of climate communication I have ever witnessed 💚🌳🌎 www.rsc.org.uk/kyoto/

After an annoying week of organisational dysfunctionality I’ve decided to spend the weekend reading about who I (apparently) am. Geographer. By literal definition “earthwriter”. Whose definitions do you like ? (And why do students consider geographical thought the cod liver oil of their timetable…)

Some beautiful Welsh irony optics going on this evening … Guess what slows down flood waters? Yup that would be 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

(ps the 10% tree cover target was in fact a 3% tree cover target cos Welsh farms already have 6-7% tree cover on average… this wasn’t about trees )
